The NAEP Data Explorer (NDE) creates customizable tables and graphics to display NAEP results. Watch a short video about the NDE; use the Quick Reference Guide (595K PDF). Learn about NDE features from the tutorial or access Help from every page. The International Data Explorer (IDE), a new tool that is an offshoot of the NDE, compares assessment results of our nation's students with those of students from other nations.

The NAEP Questions Tool (NQT) provides access to over 2000 released questions from NAEP assessments in all NAEP subject areas. See students' actual answers to constructed-response questions, with scoring comments. Bookmark questions for later use. Watch the short video showing the features of NQT and how to use them, then learn details from the tutorial and the Quick Reference Guide (553K PDF).  Investigate the "What can I do here?" link and the Help button that are on every page.

Item Maps help to illustrate the knowledge and skills demonstrated by students performing at different scale scores on NAEP assessments. Explore performance information about student groups by state. See the Quick Reference Guide (1,126K PDF) to learn about using Item Maps!

Create tables that compare states/jurisdictions based on average scale scores for public school students within a single assessment year, or that compare the change in performance between two assessment years. The results can be shown on maps, and there is a comprehensive Help system. Get started using the Quick Reference Guide (742K PDF).

Use State Profiles to examine key NAEP results over the years, and to explore each state's student demographics and school characteristics. There are links to the most recent state reports. Maps make it easier to compare performance across jurisdictions and Help is available throughout. For even more state data, take a look at the State Education Data Profiles, then explore the State Snapshots in the ED Data Express tool.

Explore District Profiles to examine key NAEP results for the districts participating in the NAEP Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA). There are links to the most recent TUDA reports. Charts and maps make it easier to compare performance across jurisdictions and Help is available throughout.

Try out actual questions administered to students in the NAEP assessments. Choose a subject and a grade, type your answers, and then see if you answered correctly, as well as how the nation's students performed. For mathematics and reading, district and state performance data are available for the questions you've answered.
